| Post subject: | Accumulator Question + Counter |
Okay so my goal is to add prices together with 13% tax included in the toal bill and somehow include counter into it. But right now I am stuck on how to add them together properly. When I try to add numbers together with the tax number it doesn't work properly. Please help! %Calculating Page var purchasecost : real var taxmoney : real taxmoney := 0 var total : real total := 0 const tax := 0.13 var answer : string loop put "Please enter the cost of the item you wish to purchase" put "Type in 0 to exit program" get purchasecost if purchasecost = 0 then put "Are you sure (Y/N)" get answer exit when answer = "y" or answer = "Y" end if taxmoney := purchasecost * tax total := taxmoney + purchasecost end loop put "The total cost for the CDs are ", total, " dollars." |

You want to accumulate a total. So you want to add to the total.
This says "set the total to this value". What you want is for the "value" to be the sum of the total and the purchase and tax. How can you do this? |
